ROOM.CD is not a hotel. It's 24 living artworks, a rooftop jungle, a gallery that never sleeps and a community of creators in the heart of Kinshasa. Come for a night — stay for the culture.
Born in 2019 in a colonial villa in Gombe, ROOM.CD reinvents hospitality for Congo's new creative generation. No beige corridors. No boring lobbies. Only rooms with a point of view.
From sape-inspired suites to rumba vinyl rooms, from brutalist concrete lofts to lush botanical hideouts — you choose your universe every night.
ROOM.CD hosts residencies, exhibitions, listening bars, fashion pop-ups and film nights. Guests get front-row access — residents get a home.
